New page

==Prologue==

In a wilderness under the moonlit night—

"It seems like you still have a bad habit of ''stealing'', lad."

The witch spoke, looking down on the boy sprawled on the ground.

"Do you intend to offer such a unspectacular blade dance to the Elemental Lords?"

"...S-Shut... up, witch..."

Coughing up chunks of blood, the crouching young man—Kamito—was holding a sword with a blade of darkness.

Despite trying to get up many times and falling down, he still resolutely refused to let go of his sword.

"Oh? Looks like you still have enough strength to talk back."

Twisting her lips in a grin, she mercilessly kicked the collapsed Kamito in the belly.

"...Gah... Huff—"

"—Stand up. One more time."

Kamito stood up unsteadily, glaring at the woman in return.

Greyworth Ciel Mais—formerly the premier knight of the Ordesia Empire's Numbers.

Known as the Dusk Witch, she was the strongest elementalist on the continent.

(Monster...)

While wiping blood from his mouth, he thought to himself.

There was an elementalist nicknamed the "Monster" back at the Institutional School, but the woman standing with a cold expression before him was the genuine article.

Kamito began to get serious, not daring to take things lightly, not even letting a single gasp escape.

"Wait, no matter what, this is going too far!"

An adorable voice came out of thin air.

The source of this voice was the jet-black sword in Kamito's hand.

...She was already quite angry. Black lightning was exploding intensely around the blade.

"I won't let him die. Besides, I still need to give the lad some loving, darkness spirit."

Ignoring that voice of protest, the witch walked over and pulled out a demon sword stabbed in the wilderness.

"Don't worry, Restia, I can still go on."

Kamito whispered lightly and poured divine power into his jet-black sword.

"You rely on the darkness spirit's power too much. You won't be able to beat the projected winner of the Blade Dance, the Holy Kingdom's Luminaris like this."

"Doesn't matter. Even if I have to face a holy spirit, there is no one who can win against me and Restia."

Glaring at Greyworth before him, Kamito replied.

This was an expression of absolute trust in his partner, the darkness spirit.

Responding to the boy's thoughts, black lightning exploded in the wilderness.

"Now that's quite some confidence."

Greyworth grinned cruelly and readied her demon sword.

"First of all, let me shatter that baseless confidence."

Despite her effortless stance, Kamito could not find any opening at all. Compared to the practitioners of assassination skills at the Instructional School whom he had always faced off against, the Empire's spirit knight was on a completely different dimension.

"What's the matter? Just attack at any timing of your choosing."

"...!"

Kamito stepped forward.

Rather than falling for the witch's taunt, Kamito had come to understand that searching for an opening would be futile.

"Assassination technique—Shadow Crossing!"

He closed in within an instant to unleash a slash with god-like speed.

No petty tricks, this was pure skill in full execution. However—

"I see, this skill's speed and accuracy are impeccable."

The witch sneered. The sword of guaranteed death, carrying the entirety of Kamito's thirteen years of experience, did not reach the witch's throat. She had dodged by the slimmest of margins.

"It's not over! Haphazard Dance of the Flying Snake!"

Taking a further step forward, Kamito released countless slashes in succession aimed at her eyes.

"Oh? So the strike of guaranteed death was just a diversion and you're using an inferior skill to target my life instead?"

Greyworth spun around and dodged countless flashes of the sword.

However, that was precisely Kamito's goal.

Given the timing, using defensive magic was impossible.

Kamito concentrated divine power on the blade of his demon sword.

"Go forth and pierce, all-annihilating demon lightning of punishment—Vorpal Blast!"

Erupting from the demon sword's blade, jet-black lightning cracked the ground caught in the explosion.

(—''Take that''!)

With that, having unleashed a decisive strike, he jumped out of the rising dust and smoke, but at that moment...

Instantly, he felt a chill.

(...What the hell!?)

Kamito's feet stopped instantly. No, rather than Kamito's conscious intent, his nerves had forcibly commanded his body to stop moving due to instinctive fear of the unknown.

"Well done, lad—"

From the dust, he heard a voice.

There was something that made that voice decisively different from the witch's voice he was used to hearing.

"Even back in that age, there were only a handful of people capable of soiling me with dust. My goodness, you truly delight me..."

The dust cloud dissipated. Under the bright moonlight, ''that form'' appeared.

"This is the second time for you to witness this appearance—"
